The Alibi Room Review

Packed with loud young tourists on weekends, chill during the week. Some of the best food and beer in the city.

First thing I noticed was how popular the place seemed to be. Busy for late night sunday. And for good reason. Food was amazing, staff were friendly and attentive, and the prices were great! Recommended for sure juet be wary of the initial smell of candle wax. Nothing off putting just unexpected initially.

Brilliant selection of beer, great staff. Will definitely be back!

Cool place! Great staff, though limited food selection late at night. But what a great historical building!

Amazing selection of craft beers, the list is 2 pages and you can tell the choices have thought into them. Food is offered here as well and has a real home made taste to it. Lots of sitting as well and a great vibe to this place. Recommended everyone come here at least once one my favorite spots in Vancouver.

Great selection of beers and decent food. Staff is friendly and can give good recommendations for their big beer selection. Free WiFi available, but it can be slow at times.

Best beer place in town. Well curated beer menu changes regularly, so that you can get the best Vancouver has to offer without traveling to every single brewery. There's also a very well presented food menu, which is not so common in most of beer themed places. The chicken wings are definitely unique and one of the best in town too. Overall, you can tell how much heart the owner has put into this place and that's why it remains the most popular spot in town.

Large beer selection. Poor customer service. Interesting vibe and atmosphere. Food looked good but didn't have any. Beers seem cheap compared to a similar place in Seattle

Lives up to the reviews. The burger is very good, go for the works and you won't be disappointed. Beer choice is extensive, bar staff are helpful and will offer advice/tasters. The beers I had were excellent

Excellent Craft beer choices - on par with a NorCal or Seattle brewpub. Interesting location and great ambiance and service. Solid gastro pub food. Watch the trains pass by the glass windows behind the bar and sip on a Driftwood Fat Tug.

Super service beer bar Choice of top beers and tapas

Amazing bartenders, crazy amount of beer options, solid ambiance, and aside from the junkies shooting up outside, a great place for a date.

The best-curated beer selection in Vancouver with a constantly evolving selection served in a cozy and welcoming space. Arrive early, as there will definitely be a line!

Deep selection of BC brews, cool atmosphere, friendly staff.

Trendy bar in gastown. It was pretty busy but I was by myself so I was able to sit at the bar. They have a good beer selection here. Food was great

This is a stellar location for a extensive selection of quality beer. I enjoy light crisp beer, Brett, sour, and creative IPAs. Alibi was able to satisfy every aspect of my taste that night. I will be back as their menu smartly lists upcoming tappings in line with the current selection. The food is on mark as well balancing portion and quality that leaves you feeling satisfied. This this the place I look for in all my travels. Highly recommended.

Excellent beer selection. Flights available. Great sours and lambics as well.

Best craft beer bar in Vancouver. Gets really busy later in the evening but they have a relatively large amount of seating

Wendy at Alibi Room is awesome. Thank you for your great service. Btw the beer menu is fantastic

pork belly sandwich is superb! great night-out place with your friends

My favourite craft beer in Vancouver!!!! Good selections of craft beer and they have excellent food as well. Their chicken wings are the best!!!!

Amazing selection of beer in a low-lit repurposed industrial brick building. Food is quite good as well. Flights could be improved by providing you with a tray and names.

They had wide selection of bottled and draft beers. Plenty of specialty and craft offerings. They have something for everyone.

This is, hands down, the best place to have beer in the city. The list is excellent and well curated, the staff are both amazingly friendly and well informed, and the communal tables are super fun. I recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Drinks and selection look fantastic, it's far enough away that it's in a more quiet if yet seedy part of town.

Service on the slow side for not being particularly busy

The BEST place in Vancouver to drink beer, period. Extensive tap list that pulls from local and far flung breweries.

THE best variety of craft beer in Vancouver! Great food too - try any of the daily specials!

Good craft beer and good location. Can get a little too noisy but downstairs is a good place to hangout.

Absolutely, love the Alibi Room as they have been serving a great selection of quality craft beers. Food is good that are made with fresh local ingredients. As of late, the service has been friendly and informative. The only complaint is the space as it is a tad loud where you will need to yell across the table, nonetheless, not enough to lower my rating.

Fantastic beer and brunch. Wins in both selection and atmosphere. My only complaints would be that the beer is slightly more expensive here than you might find elsewhere, and the sheer amount of choice can often lead to decision paralysis, and the latter is a pretty good "problem" to have.

Great selection of beers, roomy halls, and friendly staff :)

I have always loved this place. Great beers and great atmosphere.

This is my favourite go to place for beer.. hands down .. and the food is suburb. Limited menu but great quality.

Nice staff lots of beer to choose from. The food (burgers) was very well-stocked and good.

Fun place, pretty simple but good beer selection and cocktails and the atmosphere is fun

Beer. If there's one reason to go here, its the ridiculous amounts of beer that they have on tap. Staff is friendly and attentive, and the beer keeps flowing as long as you ask :)

An amazing place for the casual great beer and food feel. An unbelievably large selection of drafts. There is no way you won't find something you'll love.

A phenomenal beer selection, especially if you like sours

Wide variety of beers and some good cider choices. Good food and nice relaxed atmosphere.

Long wait on a Saturday night and small menu. That said, great atmosphere and beers. The serving sizes are on the smaller side but it is good quality and tasty. Love the family seating style.

Craft beer enthusiasts essential hang out. The best beer list in the city, some tasty food, and a very good atmosphere for group gatherings. Lots of exciting events monthly. GREAT veggie burger.

Good service, huge selection if beer, expensive (but tasty!) wings.

Fantastic beer selection. Cool laid back environment. Loved the cask milk chocolate stout.

Large space with a cozy vibe. Decent pub eats and an exceptional craft beer selection. Often very busy.

Great Customer Service. Really friendly genuine servers.

Beer list is extensive but a bit pricey.

Atmosphere and service were both good.

Went in a Saturday night, busy and loud. Service was excellent, selection was extensive. Bring your reading glasses though, tiny print menus. Definitely geared towards the 30 something with significant disposable income crowd, pints were ok price, flights were a ridiculous $14 each. We both got two losers in a flight of 4, which surprised me as I am pretty good a selecting good beers. Makes me wonder if there is something off in their selection process. Good to do one time, won't go back.

Great selection of beer which would normally get 4 stars just by itself but a severe lack of food options and their bathroom was out of service so we had to use a washroom across the street.

One of my favourite places to discover new beers and get together with friends over brunch or late night snacks

Probably the best craft beer bar in Vancouver. The bartenders are outstanding and know their beer! It can get really busy and crowded but it's worth it!

Say in the basement and the 2 bartenders were awesome, very knowledgable. Good was fantastic

Wonderful space with excellent vibes! The location is just a stones throw away from bustling Gastown, making it a great little stroll from your dinner (though the food there is nothing to scoff at!).

There s plenty of seating (upstairs and down), but gets packed quite early on in the evening, and stays as such till close - you can expect to wait ~30 mins on average.

Has one of the best craft beer selections in the city - with frequent rotators and fantastic variety!

Great beer and attentive staff. Regular pub food and fair prices. Nice :)

Just the perfect place to start the night: good food and excellent beer

One of my favorite brunch places in Vancouver. Great selection of beers

Decent bar, plan B for crowded day on gastown, they could have shots, that would make it more fun

HUGE craft beer selection with excellent kitchen. Highly recommend for weekend brunch

Absolutely awesome spot, largest craft beer selection I've found so far, plus an amazing lineup of foodstuffs and a really nice, dimly lit, low-key atmosphere.

Really cute space with a ton of beer selection and great service. Delicious brunch menu and decent eats otherwise.

Really nice and cosy place. The street is quiet so the small patio is enjoyable. I believe they are only 2 people table outside. The service is fast and the food is really good even though I had the board cheese before and it was better at the time. There can be a little bite of a wait but I feel like it moves fast. Later at night they put on candles and tune down lights, good place for a date :)

Excellent bar. Loved the food, the beers were very good. Will come back again.

Good food and atmosphere. One strange thing about this place though is that the downstairs doesnt have service staff, you order food from the bar. Good spot though. Damn fine burger.

Best Craft Brew Bar in Vancouver; amazing constantly rotating selection of BC Craft Beer

Swaggy as hell. Been this 4 some time, come get it.

Such a nice tap list and a great menu. I went specifically for the sour beer selection and wound up with a flight of four. The beers were super *chef s kiss*. It s off the Expo line but far enough from the steam clock and other more touristy locations to feel more like a local haunt. The wait can be hefty but the location is right next to a bridge which is perfect for watching the sunset over Vancouver.

My happy place whenever I'm in Vancouver. If I can't get there at night, I'll make a point of getting there for brunch so I can have some quick delicious food and a beer. Unbeatable tap list, great atmosphere. I recommend going in the winter so you can see the gigantic Christmas tree ;)

In a quieter area so it took me a while to discover this place. A large variety of tasty beer. Highly recommend.

Incredible beer selection. Great food. Gorgeous desserts. One of the best spots in town.

Fantastic food, looong list of local and imported beer. Positive and exuberant atmosphere with great service.

Burgers are so good here. We keep trying elsewhere and keep going back to Alibi Room for the Burgers!

Excellent selection of beers, good food, and very helpful staff
